Mother o' Mine

If I were hanged on the highest hill, 

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

I know whose love would follow me still, 

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

If I were drowned in the deepest sea, 

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

I know whose tears would come down to me, 

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

If I were damned of body and soul, 

I know whose prayers would make me whole, 

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

~ Rudyard Kipling
